Harry Potter Saturday!
Today Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - the 1st 4 movies are airing on ABC Family so I am recording those movies today to watch them later and watching bits and pieces of the movie while not watching recorded TV programming. It is Harry Potter day for me once more - finally finishing the Harry Potter series last week and now reading a book that my surrogate mother borrowed to me titled Battered To Blessed by Brenda Walsh - a Seventh-day Adventist who is now on 3ABN (3 Angels Broadcasting Network on channel 129 in our city on digital cable boxes. Brenda grew up as a Seventh-day Pastor's daughter all her life and has written her story about her first marriage of emotional, physical, and mental abuse from her 1st husband Dave Logan. Brenda left Dave, with the help of her older sister Linda, saving herself and her daughter Becky and getting a divorce from her abusive husband. Her 1st husband is a police officer and was abusive and threatened to kill her and his daughter more than once and took Brenda to a shooting range and telling her to stand in front of one of the targets while he shot at the targets missing her every shot and then taking her home. With this portion of her story of a 20 chapter book, I do have to admit that there were tears streaking down my face for her safety and endurance of becoming a strong woman finding happiness once again for herself and daughter marrying again to a loving man in the Seventh-day Adventist faith. Today Brenda works for 3ABN in Illinois where she has resided most of her life as a child and adult today even though as a child she moved around a lot because of her father's work as a pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist faith. Battered To Blessed is an awesome book and definitely a change from reading about wizards, witches, magic and spells, good and evil, and children going to a wizarding school to learn how to survive with those who are muggles who are not wizards or witches. Actually both genres of books are of two extreme ends to be very honest here.
I am heading off for a while and will come back if I have time to do so. Everyone have a good day!
